Long-time painter, loves colour "Truly fascinating are those pictures which employ a vermillion (cinnabar) yellow tint. These canvases seem to spark, glow, smoke, with the painter transforming ordinary paints into substances from hell itself. The colours contrive to blaze and give off heat. The artist’s reds force us to think, order us to wonder at the conceptual intensity of the colours. As a matter of course we go through an extraordinary adventure with reds. They are suggestive of pride, sensuality, a satisfied life."
